We'll Still be a Family
A beautifully illustrated children’s book exploring intercultural transition through the eyes of a child to help families prepare for the journey ahead.
About the Book
About the Author
Baptist Mission Australia has teamed up with author Linsey Painter to produce this beautiful book for children of intercultural team members as they transition to life in a culture and setting very different to their own. As a third culture kid herself, Linsey has tapped into her own memories and written a beautiful story capturing the many emotions that children and adults alike experience as they adjust to a new home. The words are brought to life by Susan English’s delightful and poignant illustrations.
We’ll Still be a Family is suitable for children aged 4 to 8 years and has been designed for families to read together. This book will open conversations and give children the opportunity to express their expectations, uncertainties, fears and excitements as they anticipate the transition.

From Five Barley Loaves
A beautifully illustrated children’s book exploring intercultural transition through the eyes of a child to help families prepare for the journey ahead.
About the Book
About the Author
After years of researching, writing and editing, we are pleased to announce that Baptist Mission Australia has published, with Morning Star Publishing, From Five Barley Loaves: Australian Baptists in Global Mission 1864–2010, edited by Tony Cupit, Ros Gooden and Ken Manley. The book is a comprehensive account of the pioneering global mission work of Australian Baptists.
Beginning with the incredible story of a group of women who came to be known as the Five Barley Loaves, the story has embraced long years of service in the Indian sub-continent and subsequent mission work across Asia, Africa, Central America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East as well as to and by our own First Nations people.
The contributors are mostly former Baptist Mission Australia staff. Whilst disappointments are reported and failures acknowledged, there are many heart-warming¸ soul-challenging accounts of heroic self-sacrifice¸ long lifetimes of service, revivals and mass movements into the Christian faith.
